For businesses

Turn passing trade into regulars

marchmello puts your restaurant or café in front of local customers, handles app orders, walk-in sales and payments, and gives you a loyalty programme that pulls in customers from every other venue in the network.

“Independent shops. Stronger together.” — a street of independent shops linked by festoon lights, with your shop at the centre of one points network.

Get discovered locally

Register your business and appear in front of customers browsing nearby — listed under the categories you serve, from burgers to bubble tea, with your menu, photos and hygiene rating front and centre.

Your catalogue, your way

Manage your products with photos, prices and dietary info. Update your menu in minutes, not phone calls.

Allergen info customers can find

Write your allergen notes, upload your allergen chart, and switch on a nut warning that shows across your page — so customers see it before they order, with a button to call you.

Live order management

Orders arrive in real time on your phone or on the web kitchen board. Accept and serve at your own pace, auto-accept paid orders if you'd rather, and edit an order at the till when a customer changes their mind.

A till for walk-in customers

Open marchmello.co.uk/pos on any tablet or computer and ring up counter orders from your live menu. They go straight to the kitchen board, you take payment your usual way, and customers earn points with their MELLO code — or spend them, with a PIN from their app.

Managers edit the menu at the till

Give each manager their own 5-digit code. They can add and edit products, mark items sold out and set points prices right from the till — and the app shows you who changed what.

Deliver with your own drivers

Set a flat delivery fee and how far you'll go, or run delivery only as a cloud kitchen. The fee is yours in full with no commission, and you can take cash at the door if you choose.

Paid directly via Stripe

Card and Apple Pay payments go straight to you through Stripe — or let customers pay at your counter or your till, where nothing passes through us at all.

A loyalty toolkit, not one lever

A headline Special Deal, a stamp card (buy 6 coffees, get the 7th free), as many discount vouchers as you like, a members-only offer for marchmello+ subscribers, reward cards like buy-one-get-one-free, and a reward regulars unlock by spending with you — all yours to edit.

Win customers from other venues

Because points convert across the network, a customer loyal to the café next door can bring their points — and their appetite — to you.

Know where you stand

A web dashboard at marchmello.co.uk/restaurant splits your takings by online and counter payment and exports a sales CSV for your accountant. Payout balances and what you're owed live in the app.

Sell age-restricted items properly

Flag a product as alcohol and the app takes it off online payment entirely — it becomes a counter order, and won't let you take payment or serve until you've recorded an ID check.

Inside the Business area

Everything you need to run your venue

Set up your menu, work live orders, watch your payouts and publish your own loyalty deals — all from the app.

“Your shop. Their next favourite.” — adding products with photos, prices and dietary badges, and a set-up checklist that ends with connecting Stripe.
“Make your menu look delicious.” — editing a dish's photo, price, points price and dietary badge, beside the sold-out switch and allergen settings.
“Orders in. Kitchen in sync.” — a new order on the owner's phone and the same orders on the kitchen board, each with a Finish button.
“Your payouts. Clearly in view.” — the Business tab with an available balance, this week's revenue and a payout sent to the bank.
“Create a deal. Welcome a regular.” — setting up a 10% off deal that costs 50 points, with followers notified.
“Give them a reason to come back.” — switching on a stamp card, a reward card, a Spending Reward and discount vouchers.
“Their points. Your next customer.” — neighbouring venues' points converting to your shop: 17.20 and 11.16 points, 28.36 to spend with you.

Shop tools

Your till, kitchen board and dashboard, in any browser

Every venue on marchmello gets three web tools: a till for walk-in sales, a live order board for the kitchen and a dashboard for the numbers. Open them on the tablet, laptop or screen you already have. There's nothing to install.

POS Till

Ring up walk-in sales from your live menu on any tablet or computer. Orders go to your kitchen board, you take payment your usual way, and customers who give their MELLO code earn points when the order is served.

  1. 1

    App orders and managers

    Orders from the marchmello app chime and light up App orders, without interrupting the sale in progress. Managers edit the menu with their own 5-digit code.

  2. 2

    Your menu as till keys

    The menu you manage in the app, as keys by category, with search. A red count shows what's on the order, and sold-out items can't be added.

  3. 3

    Add their MELLO code

    Add a customer's MELLO code to see their points with you and the vouchers they can redeem. Spending points or vouchers takes a one-time PIN from their app.

  4. 4

    Checkout, payment, then points

    At checkout the order can go straight to your kitchen board. Take cash or card your usual way, tap Payment received, and their points land when it's served.

Staff sign in with your shop's POS code, from the POS Till card on the home page of the marchmello app. The till opens once your venue is approved.

The network effect

A loyalty pool bigger than any one venue

Traditional loyalty cards only reward your existing customers. On marchmello, every venue's customers are potential regulars of yours — their points can travel to your till. Publish a great deal, and the network notices.

Your loyalty deal

10% off for 15 points

Redeemable as a voucher at your checkout

A typical loyalty deal — you set the points, the reward, and can edit it whenever you like.

Shared loyalty

Every venue on marchmello has agreed to shared loyalty

It's part of the Terms of Service every venue accepts when it registers: customers can move their points from one venue to another. Every venue makes the same promise, so customers trust their points to travel, and that's what brings them to you.

Read the shared loyalty terms
  • Points can move on

    Customers can convert points they hold with you to any other venue that's live on marchmello, or send them to a friend. Converting costs them 10% to 18% of the points (marchmello+ members pay nothing), so points go furthest where they were earned.

  • Points can come to you

    Customers of every other venue can bring their points to you. They spend exactly like points earned with you, on the deals, vouchers, reward cards and points prices you set.

  • No money changes hands

    Points are loyalty, not cash. No venue pays or is paid for points that move, and no venue gets the conversion fee: those points simply aren't credited.

Six ways to reward loyalty

Special Deal
Your headline offer — a percentage off for points. You set how long it stays locked before you can change it again.
Stamp Card
The paper coffee card, done properly — you choose which items count and how many earn a free one. Every one a customer buys is a stamp once you serve the order, and their free one costs them nothing. No points needed, and change it whenever you like: a card a customer has already started never gets harder to fill.
Discount Vouchers
Money off an order in exchange for points — add as many as you like, from a small one that gets customers started to a big one that keeps them coming back. Always live, and yours to change or remove at any time.
Members Only
An offer only marchmello+ subscribers can redeem — the people who order most often.
Reward Cards
Buy one get one free, buy two get the next discounted, or spend £25 and choose something free. Customers buy the card with points and keep it until they use it.
Spending Reward
Set a spend target — say £30 within 30 days — and customers who reach it get your percentage off one order. Their spend then starts again from £0, and they can watch it build on your page. No points needed; it's used on its own rather than with a voucher or reward card.
